The highly-skilled roles include data centre technicians, software engineers and customer support staff among others. All the jobs will be based in Dublin.

“We have already exceeded our previous talent growth targets for Ireland set in 2014, which is testament to the abundance of expertise we have been able to find in the country,” said Jeff Caselden, general manager, Amazon Ireland.

“We’ve been an active member of the Irish technology community for over a decade now and Ireland’s creative culture and the diverse set of technical skills we’re able to recruit for here make it an ideal location for our rapidly-expanding business.

“Some of our most exciting creations we have at Amazon stem from the work we do here for our customers.”
